Vice President of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil has called for greater support for the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), emphasising the need for stronger laws to empower the institution in its fight against corruption.
Contributing to a panel discussion on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, March 8, he stressed that history has shown that corruption cannot be fought effectively without legal backing and political will.
Mr Bentil argued that Ghana's progress depends on building robust institutions rather than expecting immediate perfection. "One of the ways we can support him [Special Prosecutor] is to pass some of these laws. 99% of the people who are threatening him are politically exposed persons and the OSP has to deal with politically exposed persons.
The kinds of things they want to achieve through political office fuel corruption.
